Federal AviationAdministration
➢ Non-Fed facilities play a
BIG role in our National
Airspace System
➢ There are currently more
than 2,300 facilities.
➢ This represents 24% of all
NavAids & automated
weather systems in the
NAS.
• WSA – 15%
• CSA – 49%
• ESA – 36%

Overview – NAS Inventory
September 10, 2019
Federal AviationAdministration
Example #10:
Assuming that if a system is marketed as a non-Fed, it’s
also FAA approved for use in the NAS.
Example #9:
Buying a non-Fed system that isn’t FAA approved.
Example #8:
Siting and/or assembling your facility in a way that doesn’t
meet FAA standards.

Top Ten Costly Mistakes
September 10, 2019
Federal AviationAdministration
Example #7:
Assuming that the FAA will let the technician who
maintains your other facilities also maintain your new
facility.
Example #6:
Expecting the FAA to provide your technician with test
equipment during commissioning & recurring inspections.
Example #5:
Failing to anticipate the significant costs & responsibilities
of facility ownership.

Example #4:
Assuming that the FAA will take over ownership or
maintenance of your new facility. (Or, assuming that
takeover will occur quickly.)
Example #3A:
Assuming that any AWOS can be connected to WMSCR.
(WMSCR connection requires an AWOS III or better.)
Example #3B:
Not budgeting for the cost of connecting your AWOS to
WMSCR. (Owners bear this cost – not the FAA.)

Top Ten Costly Mistakes
September 10, 2019
Federal AviationAdministration
Owners:
• System doesn’t operate optimally.
• Delayed entry into service.
• Unexpected/early decommissioning of system.
Note:
All the above potentially could adversely impact safety to the
flying public.
16The Non-Federal Program:
How To Avoid Costly Mistakes!
Potential Consequences
September 10, 2019
Federal AviationAdministration
Technicians:
• You contract with an airport to maintain its non-Federal
facilities, but discover you lack the required training to
obtain FAA verification authority.
17The Non-Federal Program:
How To Avoid Costly Mistakes!
Potential Consequences
September 10, 2019
Federal AviationAdministration
Manufacturers / Vendors:
• Sell non-FAA approved systems.
• Make unapproved configuration changes to a system.
Note:
This will result in the facility being immediately NOTAM’d out of
service upon discovery.

Federal AviationAdministration
Owners
Commissioning requirements include, but are not limited to,
the following:
1.NavAids must comply with the Federal Aviation
Regulations’ Part 171.
2.AWOS must comply with the “non-Federal AWOS
Advisory Circular.”

Installation & Operation
September 10, 2019
Federal AviationAdministration
Commissioning requirements continued:
4. You must sign an agreement, acknowledging that you
& your technician(s) will:
• Follow FAA operations and maintenance practices,
AND
• Allow the Non-Federal Program to regularly conduct
inspections.
• Important: The FAA will not allow you to operate a newly-installed non-
Federal system until it’s been commissioned by the Non-Federal
Program. For addition information, please contact your PIM.
37The Non-Federal Program:

Installation & Operation
September 10, 2019
Federal AviationAdministration
Maintenance Technicians
• The term “verification authority” refers to the fact that, by
performing maintenance, you’re also verifying that the
facility is operating safely, in accordance with FAA
standards.
• Owners must contact the PIM to request verification
authority for their intended maintenance technician.
38The Non-Federal Program:
How To Avoid Costly Mistakes!
Verification Authority
September 10, 2019
Federal AviationAdministration
• If you do not have system specific and site specific
Verification Authority, you must not perform
maintenance on any facility/system.
• Doing so will result in the FAA shutting down the
facility/system.
39The Non-Federal Program:
How To Avoid Costly Mistakes!
Verification Authority
September 10, 2019
Federal AviationAdministration
• “System specific” & “Site specific”
– Verification Authority is a physical letter issued by the
FAA District Office that oversees the location of the
installed facility.
– You must have Verification Authority for each
individual non-Federal system that you maintain.
40The Non-Federal Program:
How To Avoid Costly Mistakes!
Verification Authority
September 10, 2019
Federal AviationAdministration
• “System specific” & “Site specific”
– For example, even if there are 2 identical
type/make/model glide slopes at adjacent airports
that you work for, you must have separate
Verification Authority for each of those systems.
41The Non-Federal Program:
How To Avoid Costly Mistakes!
Verification Authority
September 10, 2019
Federal AviationAdministration
• Obtaining verification authority requires that
technicians must:
– Successfully complete an FAA-approved system
training course;
• Out of Agency Training is available through the FAA
Academy for some facilities.
• Appendix 3 of FAA Order 3000.57 lists FAA-approved
courses not provided by the FAA.
42The Non-Federal Program:
How To Avoid Costly Mistakes!
Verification Authority
September 10, 2019

– Pass the respective applicable Theory-of Operation
Exam;
– Satisfactorily complete a Hands-On Performance
Exam;
• Performance Exams are administered by the FAA.

• Submit all proposed design or configuration changes to the
Non-Federal Program.
– Proposals for NavAids must meet the technical requirements
of FAR Part 171.
– Proposals for AWOS must meet the technical requirements of the
Non-Fed AWOS Advisory Circular.
– And it’s important to note that these are not the only requirements.
Other Orders and Advisory Circulars may apply.
The FAA will not allow airports/owners to operate your system until the
Agency formally approves its design and/or configuration changes.
45The Non-Federal Program:

Design Approval
September 10, 2019
Federal AviationAdministration
1st, each type/make/model of a facility (and any configuration
changes) must be sanctioned by the FAA.
–In other words, they must be “FAA Approved.”
2nd, the non-Federally-employed technicians who will maintain the
facility must first receive permission to do so from the FAA.
–This permission is known as “Verification Authority.”
3rd, FAA personnel will regularly inspect a facility’s operation &
maintenance.

Section 5
Facility Assumption of Operation and
Maintenance (O&M)
47The Non-Federal Program:
How To Avoid Costly Mistakes!September 10, 2019
Federal AviationAdministration
48The Non-Federal Program:
How To Avoid Costly Mistakes!
Assumption of O&M
• A Facility Transfer is the act of the FAA assuming financial
responsibility for the operation and maintenance of your
facility.
• Many non-Federal systems are not eligible for transfer.
and
• Eligibility does not guarantee approval!
Approval is determined on a case-by-case basis.
